So many random dumdums already declared among themselves that MSD retired when he hasn't officially made it clear yet. Was confused because of those fools to be honest. Hope he can play for 1 more season as usual.
Also, him hitting the monstrous six in the final over actually helped RCB because they got a new ball that was tougher for the batsmen to hit. Crazy lucky RCB!

The batsmen of Chennai Super Kings were under some pressure after losing two wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 219 runs given by RCB. Yesterday's match was really a high voltage match at one time it looked like Chennai Super Kings would qualify but after Mahendra Singh Dhoni got out the run came to a standstill. Virat Kohli's side performed brilliantly as they beat Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs to secure qualification. But when Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bowl in yesterday's match, I was thinking that today's match might be Chennai Super Kings losing. RCB batsmen tried their best to perform well due to which RCB scored 218 runs in allotted 20 overs. If the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings could have bowled a little better, if they could have limited RCB to 200 runs, then last night's match would have definitely won Chennai Super and confirmed the qualification.
what I do believe once Dhoni retires, Chennai will be even more exposed since they rely heavily on him. CSK could have easily qualified, but they lost because of Shivam Dube's slow innings, which put the team under pressure. Another reason is that CSK's local bowlers haven't performed well in the last few matches. CSK has a lot to work on, but they played well overall. Meanwhile, RCB are through to the playoffs! Coming from far behind and knocking six teams out of contention is remarkable. Carry on, King Kohli and his team. You have to appreciate a team that wins six matches in a row. With the way they're playing, they deserve to win this year's IPL, but there's still a long way to go.
Today match Punjab kings vs sunrise hyderabad will face each other today but between these two teams I will put sunrise hyderabad ahead because sunrise hyderabad batting line is very strong their batsmen are batting great. If the Sunrise Hyderabad batsmen can bat responsibly in today's match, they can definitely win against Punjab Kings. Cricket is a very demanding game as Punjab Kings have a great win against Kolkata Knight Riders with a target of 260 runs. But it seems that Sunrise Hyderabad's batting line is very strong and if their batsmen can bat well then there will definitely be a chance to win.
RCB finished their batting and managed to collect 218 runs with the loss of five wickets. Both Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli opened with good runs, and all the batsmen who came in later have been batting responsibly. Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green batted well later and the visitors were much inspired by their responsible batting. As RCB batted brilliantly in today's match and made a huge score they have a lot of chances to win so maybe they are more likely to qualify in IPL. If CSK does not play a good batting performance and responsibly in today's match then it will not be possible for them to qualify in IPL, but they will have to leave.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru outstanding performance by winning back to back matches and also win this match by 27 runs. The Player of the Match is Faf du Plessis for his amazing batting skill scored a fifity 54 runs from just 39 balls and reached the total to 200 plus runs. Chennai Super kings tailed to chase down the target and Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualify to the playoff of this IPL session. 
Chennai Super Kings lost out mainly because of Shivam Dube. He came in as an impact sub and wasted a lot of balls. Made just 7 runs from 15 balls (when the required run rate was close to 12 runs per over) and then he ran out Rachin Ravindra, who was batting exceptionally till then. Critics may say that he just had a bad day out there. But for me, what he did was something that can't be forgotten. If there was no impact sub, then CSK should have easily won this match and they could have qualified for the playoffs instead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Rachin could have stayed on crease, and let Dube run-out, as you said he wasn't playing good anyway. Though, I feel if Rachin did not hesitate for second run he could have completed it, it was this hesitancy that costed wicket.
I don't think blame can be put on impact sub, game was in CSK's hands even in last over, 11 of 5 was doable. MSD got out, Thakur on strike, a dot ball, and pressure kept building up, and ship drowned.
But have to say RCB managed to do impossible. It felt like some sort of kinetic energy was behind them, they were so into it and kept throwing punches.
CSK were just 10 runs short of making it to next round. What a come back by RCB to this year IPL, they lost 7 of there eight initial games and when everyone said there IPL journey is over they came back by winning all of there last 6 games. There are still 2 games left in group stages but we have now all four teams confirmed for next round.

Today Tri Nation Serice will be a very competitive match between Ireland vs Netherlands team, as Netherlands team managed to win the first match against Scotland team. But to compete with Ireland team will have to work hard, because Ireland team is a very strong team. But the performance of these two teams is so good that it is difficult to determine the exact victory so it is very difficult to say which team will win until the end of the game.

Remember the date , 18th May 2024 because that is the date where we have seen MS Dhoni for the last time on the ground because after that we will not see him when he is doing practice and bating in the ground because now his time is over.
When MS Dhoni was out then the whole Royal Challengers Bengaluru team, players, and also fans were happy because they got a wicket but also that was the last match for him so it doesn’t allow us to be happy in this because after 2019, when he took international retirement now the day has came where he retired with all leagues as well.

Netherlands Tri-Nation T20I Series
According to the name Tri- Nation means there are three teams in this series. Means Ireland, Netherlands and third one is Scotland. You talked about the first match which played yesterday between Scotland and Netherlands. Netherlands was looking strong and they showed their skills and won the match. They lost 8 wickets and made 167 runs. Scotland was trying well but they didn't chase the target and the whole team out at 126 runs.By the way today there is the second match of this series which will be played between Netherlands and Ireland. Both teams are good. But I think Ireland can win this match. I am saying this because they won the match from Pakistan in recent played series. But we can't underestimate the Netherlands too. They also can give surprise. These both teams are looking same in stats. So I am expecting an exciting match from them.
I was confident about RCB win and they did. I was more concerned about the weather as a prolonged rain would have shorten the game which would have benefited CSK as the second batting team and in case of game being abandoned, RCB were out.
But both luck and performance favored RCB. Even though RCB had many losses at start, the most of them were by small margins. Virat Kohli is the Orange cap holder and they were deserving among the two to qualify for playoffs. With this the 4 teams to playoff and 1st and 4th position has been finalized but we need to wait till last day to determine the second and 3rd team.

Netherlands Tri-Nation T20I Series
In the first match of the T20 series between the Netherlands and Scotland, the Netherlands stunned Scotland and won by a huge margin of 41 runs. Vivian Kingma picked up four wickets for just 21 runs and ended the match with the first ball of his last over. In a word, Scotland got dusted by Vivian Kingma. Maybe in the next game, I can give a very good surprise from Kingma. Netherlands is slowly becoming a developed cricket country. Congratulations to the Netherlands cricket team.

Pakistan Women vs England Women
So we know that they are playing the T20I series and they have played 2 matches already and in both matches we saw that England Women team shows their best. And they won both matches. Pakistan Women team is very weak in batting line they need to focus on it if they really want to win today match. First of all I am looking that England will win this match again and they will win the series with 3-0. But we can't say anything at this time because Pakistan Women team can make a great comeback and can win this match so we should not underestimate them. So let's wait today is the last match of this series I hope Pakistan Women team will perform well today.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru won by 27 runs against Chennai Super Kings and make themselves quality for next round by knockout CSK. I found RCB character very mysterious cause at first they lost 7 matches out of 8, and now they keep winning continuosly. They made a huge Change in themselves. So kohli miss half century for 3 runs but de plessis make half century in this match. And Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell showed legendary performance. Total collected 218 runs. And CSK also played good. They tired their best in this match.Ravindra Jadeja and Rachin Ravindra both performed very impressive but bad luck for them. They lost and out of the final for this year

Netherlands won by 41 runs Against Scotland, in their 1st T20I match. Scotland won the toss and went to filed. So We saw Netherlands for bat first and yeah, they did good start up. Their top ordered batsman played good and made decent amount of runs. Michael Levitt(43), Max ODowd(30), Vikramjit Singh(39) and finally they made total 167 runs which was given for Scotland as target. When Scotland came to bat, their top players were suffering for making runs maybe due to pressure and that's why many wickets gone earlier, 3 wickets gone at 16-3 runs only but then captain Richie Berrington(39) and Matthew Cross(49) made good partnership and very decent amount of runs but after they lost wickets, rest of players also out with lower runs and total scored was 126/10. Vivian Kingma did great bowling with having 4 wickets. Well congrats Netherlands for win
Currently Netherlands team is performing very well, you see Scotland team lost three wickets in the beginning of the game. A performance like this is bound to lose with any team as a long performance by keeping wickets is the main sign of victory. But they also failed in terms of bowling performance, so in the end they were forced to lose by 41 runs. Vivian kingma and Logan Van Beek are the two players from Netherlands who have performed best in terms of bowling performance. I think the Scotland team won only because of the good performance of these two bowlers.
Netherlands team is very strong in this cricket season with their experienced bowling. With only two bowlers they gave very little life and collected more wickets. That's why the Netherlands team can win this match, because if they perform strongly, they can definitely win because the Netherlands team could not collect many runs in this match.

A very disappointing year for Mumbai Indians and their way to picking the trophy has been finished from some matches of this IPL but also they are out of the IPL and they could not come at least on the 9th number in the point table.
MI finish bottom
Remember that once at time that was the team who won the IPL trophies 5 times. This time, Hardik Pandya is the most underestimated player from not the Mumbai Indians team even in the World Wide. Also, there is a breaking news which is that maybe Rohit Sharma is no more in Mumbai Indians and in the next year, we may see him on any other franchise.

I do not agree with the thoughts you have for Rohit Sharma because he is a very old player of Mumbai Indians and he led them to victories many times so if he moves on to any other franchise then it would not be great for the Mumbai Indian. After one not-good year, he stepped down from the franchise while there is Virat Kohli who was playing for 16 years for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and tried everything to give their team a cup.
However, we will see this next year that is true or not, I want that Rohit Sharma to play once again in Blue Jersey of Mumbai Indians.
